Airports in the Russian cities of Kaluga, Penza, Saransk, and Saratov enacted the Carpet Plan on Wednesday evening in response to a potential drone attack.

According to Ukrinform, the Telegram channel Astra reported this development, citing a statement from Rosaviatsiya (the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency).

Media sources indicate that the restrictions at the airports were introduced due to the threat of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).
